Romans, Egyptians, Ninjas, Samurai, & Knights... Wow.

I doubt I go all out with these, but I could see grabbling some of them for sure... Wonder how far this line's gonna go though.

Thanks go to my buddy Paul for even pointing this out to me though, I hadn't seen any of this at all without his keen eyes!

Was discussed here already but they do look cool. A better take on "Warriors of the World." Only problem is one guy from each era or genre. I like how WotW has a bunch so you can display together. This one per was the problem with the 6 inch DT figs a while back.

I really like the Roman figure - and the Egyptian. The Egyptian seems to be an odd choice to me and it would have made more sense to have a Celtic warrior or "barbarian" tribesman like a Gothic or Frankish soldier to fight the Roman. The Egyptian really needs an Assyrian or Hitite warrior to accompany it. Still, whenever these make a showing, I'll be down for a bunch 8)

Cool regardless... Glad I finally caught up to last week! Whew. ;)

These are awfully cool. I can't wait for a maniple of Romans. The only downside I see is the Samurai would be awfully hard to customize into other figures; most of their armor were one of works of art and a dozen of them together would look out of place...I agree the Assyrian is kind of the odd warrior out though.
